Contacting the RFL

I'm hoping to get an email address off of someone so that I can write to the RFL. Tried the RFL site, only gives an email address for enquiries/directions.

It makes no sense that we will only have half the sky money for yet another year, if the RFL really do want what's best for the game they have no choice but to give us what they give every other team in Super League the FULL sky money. It's holding back the club and especially when on the last year of licenses we will not be playing on a level playing field, the RFL could be the demise of the Bulls and we need a strong Bradford in Super League.

Although on my own, I can do nothing. I'm calling on you to do the right thing and join me. Not just Bulls fans but all fans of the game.

It's 10 minutes of your time for a club/game most have supported for the majority of their lives. If enough people get behind this I honestly think it could make a real difference.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I'm more inclined to believe it's not paying taxes that could be the demise of the Bulls.

I don't feel we have had this special treatment that you think we've had. We had 6 points taken off of us taking us out of the playoffs and halting what progress we had made. The RFL also took a huge amount of time on the decision to keep us in super league or not, meaning we could not recruit or resign players. I personally think this is punishment enough.

I do respect your opinions and they are valid, but as are yours I also feel mine are too.

I can appreciate the anger (and schadenfreude) from fans of other clubs and the RFL did go to extraordinary lengths to support and save the Bulls. But having done that, why hamstring the club and make it so difficult for the club to get back onto its own two feet?

If the RFL were happy to let the club go, fine and they wouldn't have had many arguments from me (providing they lent suitable support to any phoenix club), but this death by a thousand cuts just isn't right.

Whilst I think it’s true the club did agree to it, what more could they do? The new owners had to agree to it or let the club die. I think the two year thing is a little excessive (although I have read that technically the RFL withdrew funding for a full season, but instead chose to help the club by withdrawing half a season for two seasons in a row. Both the club and the RFL have been quite ambiguous about this), but then I come from a position of bias.

On the upside it’s forced the club to find other revenue streams, which will benefit when the full Sky amount returns (depending on the pending league restructure). I won’t be assisting the OP in his letter writing campaign – although I wish him all the best. I just think it goes without saying that Bulls fans will disagree with this punishment, and the fans can’t really say anything that the RFL don’t know or the club presumably haven’t already argued.

I totally understand the need for punishment but this seems like a double punishment. Keep them in SL or boot them out but why make them compete with one hand tied behind their back? The owners had Hobsons choice really and were damned if they did or they didn't. But I would personally have rather been relegated and start again
